[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 296893, member: 1233"] It is SCARY when your baby does this. Miss Jessamess was the QUEEN of the gag-n-choke nap. I often had her with me in the shower (both to bath her with me and to have her sit while I showered. She loved the water.) and having her choke and gag a little was pretty common. Jess had allergies but instead of a runny nose the snot all went down the back of her throat. She vomited often even when not sick with a virus. It was always foamy whitish or yellowish snot that came out. One of the things that really helped us was to have Jessie sleep in her car seat. She was almost never in her crib. She could not lie flat in any position. She just couldn't breathe if she was flat. Raising the foot of the crib was recommended but not helpful. If we raised the end of the bed she would wiggle around in her sleep and be flat at the bottom of the bed sleeping sideways instead of the regular up and down. When she was old enough that the doctor recommended medications she got robitussin. The medication in regular robitussin is the same as in mucinex. Decongestants like sudafed make the snot thinner and runnier. Benadryl dries it up so less is produced. Robitussin/mucinex is guaifenisin (sp?) and it makes the snot less sticky. That is why it helped. Not to stop the cough but to make more come up when she did need to cough. I am sorry she was so scared. It is terrifying to have something wrong with your baby. I hope she has no more scares like this. [/QUOTE]
